Yes, because while it's fast, it also tries to download every article
my server knows about.

It is both headers and articles. Even those already downloaded. It
seems to just throw away what it downloads.

There are some changes in the behaviour. With
`gnus-agent-consider-all-articles' set to nil, it still does what I
described above. If I set it to t, Gnus just locks up until I hit C-g.
I've been staring at the code for quite some time, but I don't
understand why it doesn't work. It is clearly conditioned on
gnus-agent-consider-all-articles. It really _ought_ to work.
